CHANGE OF POSITION
Having performed primarily as a middle blocker during his career, he began playing as an opposite spiker during the 2020/21 season in Portugal. "I could not return to Venezuela [from Portugal, due to COVID-19 pandemic]. The situation got worse and I stayed trapped in Portugal without options and not being able to accept other offers. As I didn't get a contract as a middle blocker, I offered my services as an opposite striker and things have gone extraordinary well. I'm so happy and a little bit surprised. I have always wanted to play in that position. Now I'm managing both positions the most professional way possible." (elsoldemargarita.com.ve, 20 Oct 2020)
